gollark: ```Instead of the programs I had hoped for, there came only a shuddering blackness and ineffable loneliness; and I saw at last a fearful truth which no one had ever dared to breathe before — the unwhisperable secret of secrets — The fact that this language of stone and stridor is not a sentient perpetuation of Rust as London is of Old London and Paris of Old Paris, but that it is in fact quite unsafe, its sprawling body imperfectly embalmed and infested with queer animate things which have nothing to do with it as it was in compilation.```

gollark: Do not embark on the madness of unsafe Rust. Not even the Rustonomicon can save you fully.
gollark: Use `Mutex` in the standard library.
gollark: Also, not much overhead, probably just a few increments and decrements per borrow.
